      Software Developer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sydney
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Lightspeed (Sydney) in Nov 2022

      Interview

      Unprofessional HR in NZ team. 1. Be late 10mins in the 30mins scheduled time. 2. I don’t think the HR has properly read my CV at all. I don’t have the word ‘Java’ in my resume, and the first question is about my previous experience in Java???? 3. The job description mentioned Nodejs, Typescript, microservice which is fitted for my background, that’s the reason I applied. And I don’t think the HR exactly what are these tech terms….

      Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We’re sorry to hear your experience was not positive, as the candidate's experience is very important to us. We understand that a lot of time and work goes into preparing for an interview and your interview should not have been delayed at the last minute with no explanation. We always want to be mindful of our candidates' time. The Talent Acquisition Partner should have reached out to you directly to set the right expectations for the role and what is going to be covered during the interview process. Sometimes job descriptions could be generic and we know that people are more than what’s on their CV, so we check about the experience you might have done some side projects or flexibility to learn. We try our best to keep our candidates up to date, unfortunately, an error was made here. We apologize for this negative experience, this is on us, we are a growing company and mistakes sometimes happen. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve. - The Lightspeed Talent Acquisition Team

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Lightspeed

      Interview

      The process starts with an initial HR screening call followed by an interview with the hiring manager. The hiring manager was late and seemed completely unprepared. He asked almost nothing about my resume or my iOS experience, so I had very little chance to showcase what I actually do. Much of the interview focused on repetitive situational questions. He kept rewording the same question over and over, even though I had already answered it. Clearly, he did not have enough material to fill the full hour. After about 30 minutes into the 1-hour interview, he just opened it up for me to ask questions. The impression I got was that iOS development is clearly an afterthought at this company. That aligns with the low reviews and ratings across their apps. I have done a lot of interviews, and this is the first time I actually felt frustrated enough to write a review.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Situational questions. Also, asked me what makes a good CI/CD pipeline, and how I'm using AI at work.
